简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Calmoseptine Ointment and Desitin Maximum Strength 40% Zinc Oxide Diaper Rash Paste in the treatment of diaper dermatitis among Neonates and Infants.
详细描述
This is a single-center, randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded clinical trial. Neonates born in UP-PGH or infants (< 1 year of age) in the general pediatric wards for any condition who have diaper dermatitis are recruited and randomized to treatment with either Calmoseptine Ointment or Desitin Maximum Strength 40% Zinc Oxide Diaper Rash Paste as part of a structured skin care regimen. Each participant has one week total participation, unless withdrawn. Baseline data are collected and study treatment initiated on study entry day. Treatment continued and follow up data collected on six subsequent follow up days. Primary outcome: healing of Diaper Dermatitis after six days of treatment, defined as a Diaper Dermatitis Severity Score of zero attributed by blinded assessment. Secondary outcomes: Diaper Dermatitis Severity Score at each day of treatment; size of affected area; incidence of Candida infection; adverse events.
Zinc Oxide Ointment preparations including Calmoseptine Ointment and Desitin Maximum Strength 40% Diaper Rash Paste have been used to treat diaper dermatitis for many years around the world. There are no known reported hypersensitivities to either product and no reported serious adverse events. As the proposed study is in neonates and infants, as a precaution the evidence relating to the safety and toxicity of individual ingredients were reviewed for the trial protocol prior to commencement.

入选标准
- •The child participant must be < 1 year of age.
- •The participant must, upon clinical inspection by an investigator, be assessed to have diaper dermatitis ≥ Grade 2 according to the study's diaper dermatitis severity scale (see "Primary Outcome").
- •The participant's parent, next of kin or legally acceptable representative agrees to the child's inclusion and signs the informed consent.
- •The participant's primary physician agrees to inclusion.
- •There is a reasonable expectation that the participant will be hospitalized for at least 7 days and will be able to complete the study. (NB Study Participant Withdrawal Criteria b - Any participants discharged from hospital by their attending physician before completion of study participation will automatically be withdrawn from the study. Study participation will not under any circumstances lead to delay in a participant's discharge from hospital.)
- •Participant has no known allergy or history of adverse reaction to any of the ingredients in either product or to any topical preparations or skin care products
排除标准
- •Participants with a pre-existing full thickness wound within the study area.
- •Participants with pre-existing active dermatological condition(s), other than DD, which may affect healing or interpretation of trial results. Where uncertainty exists, the Investigators will arrange a consultation with a Consultant Dermatologist.
- •Participant has a history of recurrent dermatological conditions, other than DD, that may imply difficult healing or affect interpretation of trial results.
- •Participant has any severe acute or chronic medical condition such that trial participation may constitute a risk, or may interfere with their medical care, or affect interpretation of results, or their attending physician advises against participation.
- •Participant is on systemic antifungal treatment (eg. Amphotericin B or Fluconazole), topical antifungal treatment and / or systemic or topical corticosteroids.
- •Participant has in the preceding week been treated with topical agents that may affect healing (e.g. dimethicone based ointments, zinc oxide powder, petroleum jelly)

结局指标
主要结局
Healing of diaper Dermatitis
时间窗: Assessed on Final day of data collection (Day 6)
Complete healing of Diaper Dermatitis on final study day, as determined by Diaper Dermatitis Severity Scale. Possible score range from zero (0 - clear skin) ti six (6 - severe erythema, all or most of the diaper area affected, with papules and/or pustules, and open skin affecting the dermis). Complete healing is defined as a Diaper Dermatitis Severity Score of zero (0). Assessment of the primary outcome used in final analyses will be blinded. For determination of final trial results for the primary outcome, sets of high definition photographs for each patient on each treatment day will be assessed by independent wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing Certification Board (WOCNB) certified wound care expert assessors based in the USA, who are blinded to treatment allocation, not involved in the study.
次要结局
- Daily Diaper Dermatitis Severity Score(Assessed on Day 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6)
